Particulars Escorts HYDRA 13 ACE 15XWE
Overview Summary

The ACE 15XWE and Escorts HYDRA 13 are two competing models in the hydraulic crane market, aimed at heavy lifting operations with a maximum lifting capacity in the 13-15 tonne range. While the ACE 15XWE offers a higher lifting capacity and longer boom, the HYDRA 13 boasts better maneuverability and a transmission tailored for crane usage.

ACE 15XWE Hydraulic Crane

Pros:
  • Higher maximum lifting capacity of 15 Tonnes
  • Boasts a three-part telescoping boom with a maximum boom height of 17.7 m
  • Robust transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds
  • Hoist speed of 50 Mtrs./Min
  • Higher hydraulic tank capacity of 125 L
Cons:
  • Larger minimum turning radius of 6500 mm
  • Heavier operating weight of 11600 kg
  • Available information lacks maximum luffing range

Escorts HYDRA 13 Mobile Crane

Pros:
  • Features articulated power steering for better maneuverability
  • Includes a creep speed for precise operations, at 1.9 km/h
  • Lower minimum turning radius of 6750 mm
  • Lighter operating weight of 11000 kg
  • Specifically developed heavy-duty transmission for crane applications
Cons:
  • Lower maximum lifting capacity of 13 Tonnes
  • Shorter maximum boom height of 12.8 m
  • Smaller hydraulic tank capacity of 65 L
  • Details about hoist speed and maximum luffing range are not provided

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

The choice between the ACE 15XWE and Escorts HYDRA 13 should be based on the specific requirements of the job at hand. If the task necessitates higher lifting capacity and reach, the ACE 15XWE is preferable. However, for tasks requiring greater maneuverability and precision, particularly in tighter spaces, the Escorts HYDRA 13 could be the better option.
